Chapter 234: King of Hedong Jin

The heavy rain fell like a pouring down again, pouring everything around it into view. The turbulent river that meandered from the left side of Chenzhou City swelled again, and it was no longer as calm as it had been, but only surging waves in the wind and rain.

The heavy rain of late summer and early autumn seems to be trying to make a last effort to preserve the last hours before the change of seasons, but the wind and rain are just swept in a diagonal line between the heavens and the earth, and the white expanse sweeps by. Layers of rain and mist evaporated from the earth, shrouding everything in obscurity. The wind and rain are fierce, just like the mood of the people in Chen Song. No one knows when this apocalyptic storm that is about to destroy the Tang Dynasty will stop, and whether they can survive this storm!

In the crowd, Luo Hou let out a long roar and came out first. A few people behind him came out in the same way, and they didn't look back, but just went backwards. Then, it was Luo Hou's voice, "The man's career is really a success......

Although the hussars were divided into two parts and took turns to fight, after all, the number was small, only 10,000, while the puppet Qi army had 100,000. After five or six rounds, only half of the hussars remained, and the rest were wounded and exhausted.

In the previous war, the Ying Tian army also lost more than 10,000 people, the remaining armored soldiers were more than 20,000, and 50,000 Songzhou troops went out to fight, but at this moment there were less than 30,000.

The puppet Qi army naturally did not have a good time, and the casualties were twice as many as those of the Songzhou army. The major generals are a little overwhelmed.

But when the sky is late, rì is dusk, the two sides tacitly understand that they are each singing gold and withdrawing troops.

Duan Mingyu and the Seventh Princes both sighed to themselves, they never thought that the first large-scale battle would be like this. It's really not easy to save the day!

Duan Mingyu was dressed in handsome clothes, silver armor, and all kinds of hideous beasts were depicted on it.

"Generals, Huang Chao is powerful, and now the plan will be released?" Duan Mingyu looked at the generals in the tent who were covered in armor leaves and bloodied and asked.

"Jie Shuai, now that Huangchao has an advantage in strength and terrain, the last general thinks that we should temporarily avoid the edge, we can retreat to Chenzhou City, from strategic offensive to strategic defense, while holding on to the enemy, while cultivating strength, if there are reinforcements coming, we can also attack Huangchao together!" Fang Wenchong deserves to be a general, and he came up with a plan in just a moment.

Duan Mingyu said: "At this moment, Chenzhou is already an empty city, and we will also snatch it down, but you have to think carefully about how to return to Songzhou and how to meet your family children left behind by sacrificing robes!"

All the generals were silent, and Duan Mingyu said: "This commander has decided, immediately attack the Huangchao camp, even if he can't win, he must breathe a sigh of relief for the dead brothers!"

"Report!"

"What's the matter?" When Duan Mingyu saw this soldier running in in a panic, he naturally knew that there was something important to report.

"Hedong Jiedu made Li Keyong lead an army of 70,000 to support our army!"

The Seventh Prince, Li Jie, jumped up from his seat in an instant, and couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "What did you say?" King Jin is coming? Is it true? ”

"It's true!"

The king of Jin is Li Keyong, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and Li Keyong is the third son of Li Guochang, the ancestor of the Later Tang Dynasty. Mother Qin. When Li Keyong was thirteen years old, he saw two wild ducks flying in the air, and they shot arrows together, and everyone present was impressed.

Keyong was very brave when he was young, and the army called him "Li Ya'er". When Li Keyong was fifteen years old, Li Guochang crusaded against Pang Xun. He went out into the army, and he charged ahead of the generals. The army regarded him as a "flying tiger". After pacifying Pang Xun, Xianzu was named the envoy of Zhenwu Festival, and Li Keyong was named the general of the clouds. Now Li Keyong is already old and mature, but he is still a veteran of the battlefield, in charge of Hedong (now Shanxi), and there are countless fierce generals under his command.

Later, on the orders of Tang Xizong, he raised troops to defeat Huangchao and made many military exploits.

In February of the third year of Zhonghe, Li Keyong defeated Huang Ye, the general of the Huang Chao Army, in Shidi Valley. In March, Zhao Zhang and Shang Rang were defeated at Liangtianpo, and the enemy army was dead for thirty miles. At this time, the armies from all over the country came to Chang'an, and fought with the Huangchao army at Weiqiao, the Huangchao army was defeated and retreated into the city, Li Ke pursued with the victory, entered from the Guangtai Gate, and fought with the enemy army in the Shengyang Hall of Wangchūn Palace, the Huangchao army was defeated and retreated, and fled south to Lantian Pass. Chang'an was recovered, and Li Ke took the lead with military merits. Tang Tianzi appointed Li Keyong as the inspector of the school, the Pingzhangshi of Tongzhongshumen, and the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, and appointed Li Guochang as the envoy of the camp north of Yanmen. In October, his father, Li Guochang, died. In November, Li Keyong sent his brother Li Kexiu to attack Meng Fangli in Zhaoyi and capture Ze and Lu Erzhou. Fang Li was defeated and went to Shandong, and formed the Zhaoyi Army with the armies of Xing, Wei and Ci.

Now Huang Chao was defeated south and went to Caizhou, surrendered to Qin Zongquan, and attacked Chenzhou. Li Keyong naturally also killed here, and in view of Li Ke's high work, the imperial court specially named him the king of Jin.

Duan Mingyu also knew that Li Keyong was loyal to the Tang Dynasty throughout his life, and the envoys of the world were eager to replace Tang Zuo and then quickly, but Li Keyong did not have this heart, and he had been sticking to Hedong, not calling himself emperor internally, resisting the Khitan Liao people externally, and being loyal to others, until, Li Keyong became seriously ill, and Later Liang Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty, and Li Keyong still used the Tang year name Tianyou for four years.

Li Keyong lost his eye blindness because of the war in his early years, and in layman's terms, he is a one-eyed dragon.

In Duan Mingyu's time and space, there was a story about Li Keyong. Yang Xingmi, the founder of the Wu State in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, was serving as the envoy of the Huainan Festival at that time, and when he heard that Li Ke wanted to see his appearance with his prestige, he sent painters to Jinyang disguised as merchants, but the painters were soon captured by the Jin army and exposed the intention of the trip.

Li Keyong was quite annoyed, and summoned the painter and said: Since Yang Xingmi sent you to take a picture for me, it must be a superb painting, I will give you this opportunity, if the painting is not like, the stairs will be your death. At that time, the weather was very hot, Li Ke was holding an octagonal fan, so the painter was in a hurry, and covered Li Ke's blind eye with the corner of the fan in the painting, Li Ke used to look at it and said: You are deliberately currying favor with me, and ordered the painter to repaint.

The second painting was soon completed, and Li Keyong was very happy to see it, rewarded the painter and sent him back to Huainan. In fact, many people have heard this story, and they are all amazed by the artist's creativity of using shè arrows to cover up his blindness, but few people know that the protagonist of this story is Li Keyong.

At this moment, hearing that Li Keyong led the army to come, Duan Mingyu and the Seventh Prince were a little excited, with the help of this strong army, why worry about Huangchao being undefeated!

The Seventh Prince, Li Jie and Duan Mingyu, said in unison: "Hurry up, please King Jin, let's go and wait outside the tent!"

Duan Mingyu was still holding the binoculars, looking at the Hedong Army in the distance, and his heart became excited again.
